Hi, I have this code in a button and I’m trying to give the image a name using the currentdatetime tag, but I don’t know how to put it correctly.

```auto
Date = system.tag.getTagValue("[System]Gateway/CurrentDateTime") 
system.print.printToImage(event.source.parent, "Date + '.jpg'")

```

Hi MoisesZV

try

`Date = str(system.tag.getTagValue("[System]Gateway/CurrentDateTime"))
Date = Date.replace(":"," ")
system.print.printToImage(event.source.parent, Date + '.jpg')`

first I turned the date into a string,  
then removed the “:” as they won’t be liked in a file name.  
then removed the “” around Date as its a string already.
